• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Trailer set up

2nd Fastest Old, Slow Guy!
Just wrapping things up with getting things ready for hauling out to Fruita at the end of next week.

We opted to bring a trailer larger than my 14' with a V-nose.

Ended up with a 22' enclosed snowmobile trailer that one of the guys coming has.

We had some metal plates welded up, and used the track to "clamp" the chocks down.

So 7 Bikes in the trailer, with enough room for gear and to walk around the front and rear of the bikes. Hoping this will work out well!

The wheel shoes say that you do not need tie downs, but we are going to run some loose, not really compressing the suspension.

On a long drive like that, would rather not find out the hard way that something failed!

I'm trying to upload photos but for some reason they keep getting flipped on their side!
 
I misspoke in saying “welded up”.
It is flat stock steel, cut to length, drilled, and tapped.
Not really sure why I said welded?
Maybe I was too frustrated by the upload photos getting turned sideways.
I have 2 other pictures that stay on their side.
